Summary

This study tested a two-drug HIV treatment (lopinavir/ritonavir) in 105 pregnant women with HIV to see if it could prevent mother-to-child transmission while reducing side effects from standard three-drug combos. The goal was to keep the mother's virus level low before delivery. Results help guide safer options for mothers and babies.
